WELCOME TO UMBRELLA SUPPORT
Umbrella Support (US*) was born in the midst of the 2020 global pandemic.
Remember that?
We don’t want to either but we are now grateful for that time as it was in the middle of the “storm” when a decision that was made by our Founder and Director Cindy Warren with precision and a goal to look for the rainbow. To start an organisation assisting people living with a disability to work towards and reach their goals in a way different to the larger companies. Don’t get us wrong, the larger companies can do a great job, but we wanted to really work with our clients and their families to assist in a way that was more personalised, but most importantly, in the time that each individual requires to navigate new adventures with confidence and independence. We refer to our participants as our ‘team” It’s vitally important to US* that our team feel valued, respected and connected. Belonging to a team is important and gives us purpose. It can, in time even make us stand taller and hold our head higher. We may often be overheard saying “We have the best team ever”!
Prior to starting US* Cindy had been managing a program in the NDIS SLES employment skills and preparation space for 5 years and also worked in Disability Employment Services for 15 years.
Our philosophy is that everyone climbs the mountain at different paces and learns the technique in their own way. We’re here to be your safety net! That’s why we focus on a tailored approach with importance around encouragement and celebrating the small wins! Every step forward deserves a high five and we’re experts in the high five department!
Communication, team work, confidence building and stepping out of your comfort zone can open up the entire world, and what an exciting world we have to explore!
Welcome to US* We’re glad you’re here.
